A characteristic of many neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, is amyloidogenic protein aggregation, for which there are currently no proven cures. Aging, mutation, and physiological stress can cause proteins to deviate from their natural folding patterns, potentially leading to the formation of hazardous protein aggregates.

ABSTRACT White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are the most abundant and widespread cervid in North America. Genetic data are used as a tool to monitor populations and make management decisions for this game species. However, the development and use of genomic tools that can generate a set of markers suitable for longitudinal genomic data ...

The hydrophobic 68GAVV71 stretch in the NAC domain of α‐synuclein is essential for nucleation, while residues 79–95 are required for fibril stability and seeding. Truncation or inhibition of 68GAVV71 prevents fibril formation, and truncation of 79–95 abolishes seeding competency, highlighting their distinct roles in α‐synuclein aggregation and ...

TDP‐43 proteinopathies and neurodegeneration: insights from Caenorhabditis elegans models
The manuscript explores structural and functional features of TDP‐43 and its worm homologue, TDP‐1, highlighting conserved and divergent structural and functional features. Using genetically engineered C. elegans models, key pathological features of TDP‐43 proteinopathies—including aggregation, neurodegeneration, and motor deficits—are recapitulated ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny, membrane‐covered packets that cells naturally release to send molecular information to one another. In the brain, they function as couriers that move proteins, lipids, and other signals between neurons, glial cells, and the blood–brain barrier.

ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers remain a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, necessitating novel therapeutic strategies. Melatonin (MEL), an indoleamine with pleiotropic biological activities, has emerged as a promising adjuvant in oncology due to its antiproliferative, proapoptotic, and antioxidant properties.
